“It’s quite frightening for the individual,” Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley said. “This is something that does not occur every day in Norman.”

The victim said the men had a gun, tied him up and robbed him. They were looking for specific items but police would not say what. It’s not clear if he was the intended target.

“We don’t know why they picked this particular residence, maybe they confused it, maybe it was a mistake, we don’t know,” Easley said. “But it’s rare for our city. The best advice I can give is take reasonable precautions.”

The suspects are two black men, about 6 feet tall, and weighing around 160 pounds. One of them was wearing a T-shirt and sunglasses over his face. The incident happened around 3 p.m. so police hope someone in the area may have seen the suspects flee.
